Randomized trial reveals links between lab test results and performance outcomes in elite women soccer players, suggesting training program improvements.

Key Points

This study aims to investigate how laboratory tests relate to physical and technical performance in elite female soccer players.
Analyzed 12 players’ physical condition indicators during the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Body composition assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).
Performance metrics measured through incremental exercise tests and sprint times using infrared timing.
Distance covered at > 23 km/h correlates with 40 m speed (r² = 0.751, p = 0.023).
Top speed is associated with both 40 m speed and body weight (r² = 0.872, p = 0.006).
Actions like 'step-in' and 'interceptions' correlate with 10 m accelerations (r² = 0.488–0.758, p = 0.036–0.002).
